Cantina Berritta
Founded by vigneron Antonio Berritta, this family of winemakers has been cultivating vines and olives for several generations. Their land extends to about ten hectares planted with vineyards, and another three hectares of olive groves. The land is located in the countryside of Dorgali, in the picturesque valley of Oddoene. Thanks to its numerous crops, the valley was the symbol of post-World War II economic rebirth in Sardinia. It is not far from the sea and its soils are rich in decomposing granite mixed with limestone. The microclimate also gives the area an unmistakable character, which is perfectly suited to the cultivation of vines.
Vines have always been trained using traditional methods and agronomic techniques aimed at organic production, respectful of the plants, the soil and also traditions. Organic status has been certified since the 2019 vintage and currently Berritta produces eight different wines with a production volume of about 30,000 bottles per year.
75% of the grape grown is Cannonau which finds its classic and natural habitat in the Dorgali valleys, i.e. Thurcalesu, Monte Tundu and Baillanu. In addition to the traditional Sardinian and Mediterranean grape variety, Berritta also cultivates Syrah which is vinified both as a mono-varietal 100% Syrah, and also as a blend together with Cannonau. i.e. Istanzu and Don Baddore.
